Sorry I couldnt post a direct link. Click on the link above, then click on gauges, then click on Where to tap in an aftermarket Boost Gauge. Then click on the illustration.

Why did you start 2 threads on the same subject? I already answered your question in this thread http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=262132. You need to be a bit more patient, you just asked the question and ten minutes later you start another thread.

You can do it either way. I did my boost gauge through the Intake Manifold, some people even do it through their brakes. Its setup similar like the boost lines, from Mani, to BOV, T fitting, then to wastegate, etc... I will try to post a pic here in a second to what is should look like.

The link I showed you is just a reference. Take a look at it, there is a vacuum line that goes off you FPR at the end of your fuel rail. Follow that vacuum line and it will connect the FP Solenoid. The other line on the solenoid is what you tap into, it leads to the intake manifold.

"The fuel pressure control solenoid is located on the drivers side firewall next to the brake fluid reservoir (see illustration). On my '91 GS-T, the hose going to the top of the fuel pressure solenoid has a blue stripe on it (yours may differ). If you trace this line, you will see that it leads to the end of the fuel rail. It is the other vacuum hose attached to the fuel pressure solenoid that we are going to tap. It is a solid black line (below the blue-striped line) and if you trace it, it leads to the center of the intake manifold. On the solenoid end, it is actually already cut and connected together with a plastic joint. I simply removed this joint, put in a plastic 'T' and you have your tap. " ~VFAQ

Thats really not the reccomended place to tap for a boost gauge. Find the line from the fuel pressure regulator the the fp solenoid . The solenoid is on the drivers side on the firewall. There should be a line that runs from the solenoid to the intake, the nipple on the intake is toward the back on the drivers side. Tap in between the manifold and the fpr solenoid. If you tap into the BOV line and you end up with a leak somewhere or the line blows then the BOV will not work correctly.
